Inlays & Onlays in Watford, Hertfordshire
Strong, durable and virtually invisible
What are inlay and onlay restorations?
These restorations are used to repair decayed or damaged teeth and are recommended when a tooth needs more support than a regular filling can offer.
Inlays and onlays, also known as indirect fillings or partial crowns, are often recommended when a significant portion of the tooth’s biting surface is damaged.
They are tooth-coloured restorations made to precise measurements in a laboratory.
They are strong, durable, beautiful restorations and research has shown that they will restore a tooth nearly back to its original strength. They are also virtually invisible and very often used in cosmetic dentistry procedures to hide old dark amalgam fillings.
Unlike other fillings, inlays are chemically bonded to the tooth so helping to reinforce it from the day that it is placed.
Onlays
An onlay covers one or more cusps and serves as an excellent alternative to a dental crown when the tooth damage is not extensive.
How long will they last?
At Senove Dental Clinic, we strive to provide you with restorative procedures that are long-lasting. However, it is important to note that no dental procedure can truly be considered “permanent.” Inlays and onlays typically last between five and fifteen years, largely depending on the amount of stress they endure and the patient’s oral hygiene.
